I was looking at them as well and was curious about the install.
I have put those on every Porsche I’ve owned and have a set waiting for the new car. Few minute install panels stay on and they work great.

The wind deflectors really make a difference? I've heard conflicting accounts about whether they help.

I've found mine to be very effective, both preventing wind buffeting and reducing the amount of wind noise in the cabin when on track.

Pop off interior door trim triangle, remove 1 screw, take off OEM window triangle. Put on AWE diffuser and reverse steps.

I'll be testing them out this weekend, I got them to cut down on wind noise on the Catalyst. But from short windows down testing on the highway it seems to be a nice improvement.
Could you post some photos, please, for close up fit a finish? Thanks kindly.

I ordered a set of TPC Rear Toe Links for the GT4. They are on backorder so maybe I will get them in a few weeks. I think this will be my last mod on the car.

Front plate mounts? I'm reading the thread on this here, but it's long. Anyone have quick replies as to one that works and is easy on/off? I have one on my GT350 that 3M tapes a stud to the underside of bumper then there's a thumb screw to easily attach and remove plate/bracket assembly.

Carbonio makes a front plate mount that uses the same design that you describe for your GT350. I don't have it but I believe there are comments from owners on the last few pages of the license plate thread.

I bought the original Carbonio front plate mount. It lasted less than 150 miles before it began dragging on the road, and when I pulled to the shoulder it came spitting out from behind the car a balled up mess. The newer version that mounts higher may be a better product, but I will not be buying one to find out.

I can't find any real photos of what this looks like. Other designs from them are not acceptable to me.brackets mounted to the grill, etc

This is the company in using currently. They did sell a universal version. I may try it. The site lists measurements if anyone with a car is inclined to measure. It's a good bracket.

I dont have pictures, but I can tell you that the fitment sucks. fortunately on my car its not bad, but on my friends car there is some big gaps and its not due to incorrect installation . I’m gonna go get some GMG ones next week. so much better quality and not a thin cheap plastic. Unfortunately AWE is like $85 and GMG is $700

Edguard Bolster protectors went into the car today. An absolutely top notch mod that nobody will notice.
